HSD assisted in developing a disposable suturing tool initiated by a grant from TEDCO to transfer and commercialize technology. Designed to be an inexpensive, disposable suturing tool that places sutures at regular intervals by means of a suturing guide. To place a stitch with this device, a surgeon simply places the fascia layer between the two arms of the device and squeezes the trigger. The device also protects the needle from accidentally puncturing the internal organs without the assistance of other currently used protective equipment. HSD designed, engineered and prototyped multiple concepts leading to a final working proof of concept for use in pre-clinical trials.

Check out the new PrimeraDx Software. HSD is proud to see the Modaplex software GUI integrated into the Qiagen Modaplex system designed to automatically run the instrument. Easy to use plate map creation using touch screen s sets up the PCR reactions for simple runs. The software takes it from there! The graphical user interface design is geared for simple user set up and sample runs of complex single well reactions.

The Modaplex System is an automated, high throughput and high multiplex real-time PCR and capillary electrophoresis instrument. The system is capable of running up to 48 samples and reporting on up to 60 targets per sample in 3.5 hours. Both instrument and GUI were concurrently designed to reduce the complexity for clinical researchers.

Whether you use an iPhone, iPad or Camera, Canfield now has the solution. The Nikon 1 Camera kit turns any VEOS HD dermatoscope into a high resolution digital capture system. A simple magnetic attachment system allows secure connection in seconds, so the camera is ready when you are. With the brilliant 3” LCD display you have a crisp, clear view of the lesion from any angle and a preview of the photograph immediately after capture. Combining the VEOS’ unequaled dermoscopy with the Nikon’s CMOS sensor and fast, accurate “Point and Shoot” technology, you can be sure of a razor sharp, perfectly exposed, clinical quality image every time.

HSD has adopted JAMA Requirements Management Software for increased robustness in Design History Files, Traceability and collaboration. “The addition of this software allows our group to more easily conform to our design process based on ISO 13485″, said Bob Barry, Director of Engineering. He adds, “by embracing an open, collaborative approach to product delivery, we avoid work arounds in our process and eliminates the communication obstacles responsible for product delays”. Seymour Friedel, CTO of HSD, illustrated “the integration it brings across all disciplines, Hardware, Software, and System design helps bring the product faster with increased requirements traceability”.
